Chapter 2689: The Prophecy of the Spirit Board

"Selling these items belongs to the gray area, similar to jewelry that just makes luck better. As long as no one reports it, the local witch sheriff will not send anyone to search."

Ms. Brock explained, and Mr. Nelson continued cautiously:

"My wife is responsible for guarding the warehouse because she is trusted. Her work has become easier, and the time she can control every day has become more.

I don't know what she did in her spare time at work, but three months after her promotion, one day when she came home, she brought back a spirit board. She said it was something she found from the warehouse, and she bought it very cheaply with her own money."

In the light of the campfire, the expression of this strong man had become extremely haggard:

"This wasn't the first time she had done such a thing, and I didn't care about her. A week later, she suddenly disappeared. I looked for her like crazy, but she returned two days later, looking lost, and then told me..."

Mr. Nelson took a deep breath facing the campfire:

"That spirit board let her see the end of the world, let her know the inevitable ending of this world. She became crazy, and I felt she was scared. She couldn't say where she had been for those two days, and she became very strange."

"I kept her at home, wanting to find a doctor to see her, but she ran out of the house by herself, and then climbed to the clock tower of our city, rang the emergency bell, and told everyone loudly that the end of the world was coming."

"Was she arrested?"

"Yes, but before I could save her, she ran home by herself again. I wanted to take her away, to live in a new city, but she cried and told me that there was nowhere to escape, even death could not escape the end of the world."

"I'm very curious, what on earth did she see?"

Ms. Brock said, but Mr. Nelson couldn't explain it clearly either, after all, Mrs. Nelson was already mentally confused at the time:

"I had to hide her in my sister's house in the countryside, wanting to wait for the limelight to pass before leaving with her. But she disappeared again soon. This time she didn't come back by herself.

I had no choice but to go to the Association of Diviners for help. Those witches were also very concerned about this matter, but they wanted to recover the spirit board of unknown whereabouts and determine what happened.

I gave them the spirit board I hid, and they divined for my wife, and it took a great price to determine that she came here. The witches said they could send me here, but they couldn't pick me up, but I still came."

"Then regarding the end of the world your wife saw, what did those prophets say?"

Xia De asked with great concern again, and Mr. Nelson recalled carefully:

"They said it was all caused by that spirit board. They hoped that even if I found my wife, I wouldn't listen to anything she said. Those witches were a bit strange, no, I don't want to slander and insult them! It's just that when I gave them the spirit board, they also showed some fear."

Miss McCona also asked:

"I don't understand, what does your wife want to do by coming here? No one here can let her promote the doomsday theory, right?"

Mr. Nelson's eyes looked at the fire somewhat hollowly:

"The diviners don't know either, but I probably guessed it. Although she wanted to tell people about the coming of the end of the world, she was the one most afraid of it. I don't know what she knew, or if it was just an illusion, but she had been driven crazy, she was scared."

"She probably wanted to forget these things completely, let her soul completely throw away those terrible things. She herself said that death cannot avoid the end of the world, so letting her life start over is the best way to escape those things."

"Then according to your statement, if your wife disappeared from reality first and then came here, why did it become you waiting for her here?"

Xia De asked again, but this question was explained by Ms. Brock, who understood the rules here better than anyone else:

"Mr. Hamilton, the method you used to enter here is probably different from ours."

"See the town on the horizon? We who came here voluntarily always appeared in that town first, wandered alone for a long time, and then set off for this beach."

"It seems that the more anxious people are to leave, the more they will be trapped by the town, while those who are still hesitating whether to really leave can come to the wharf very quickly."

Xia De was somewhat enlightened, but Miss McCona said in a low voice:

"Is the five-minute time up?"

The bottle was handed to Xia De. After opening the cap, he inserted his hand into the resin and took out the key:

"Very good, perfect!"

Looking at the crystal key against the campfire, the firelight allowed him to clearly see every detail on the key. Now all the cracks had disappeared, and the elements flowed smoothly in the crystal. This key was perfectly restored to its original state.

The resin was now consumed by about half, so Xia De could still use it to repair many things. However, seeing that Little Mia didn't lean over to sniff it this time, Xia De took the initiative to bring the resin close to it, and the cat, smelling the pungent odor, immediately pushed his hand away with its claws.

"It's really repaired!"

The young witch who got the key back was already in tears. She put the key away properly, and then got up and gave Xia De a hug:

"Thank you, really thank you."

"Don't thank me, thank Ms. Brock. If it weren't for her persuading you to stay, I wouldn't have had the chance to help you."

In this way, Miss McCona's problem was also solved. The only thing left was to wait for Mr. Nelson's wife to arrive, and then Xia De could go see Chloe, which he was quite looking forward to.

He didn't want to waste a single second of the 50 minutes. After confirming the matter of the Nelson couple, he looked up at the pitch-black beach again, and after confirming that there were no figures in the thin mist for the time being, he suggested:

"I want to see what your wife did with the spirit board that year. I'll go ask about the boat ticket. If possible, Mr. Nelson, let's set off together. Ms. Brock, Miss McCona, please help wait for that lady here."

After arranging everything, he took the cat and came to the wharf. Although he was very worried that he wouldn't be able to gather enough boat tickets, he decided to ask first:

"I want to go to the time when his wife saw the so-called end of the world with the man over there. How many boat tickets does this require? We still won't affect time, just watch."

The tall figure standing at the bow of the boat stretched out two fingers to Xia De:

"A little warmth of the soul, a tear of despair."

Two blank cards flew in front of Xia De.

"Don't you need sin?"

Xia De took the cards and asked pleasantly, he was worried about this just now. And the voice under the black robe made of black mist replied:

"No need, but you have to be like last time on the return trip."

This meant that Xia De would row the boat back:

"Of course, that's no problem."

He immediately returned to the campfire under the wharf and told everyone the good news. Ms. Brock had a way to get the warmth of the soul, and Miss McCona actually said she had the tears of despair:

"Many of the witch secret arts taught by the teacher require tears as spellcasting materials. In fact, we are witches specializing in extreme emotional and soul state changes. Swords born of courage, curses born of jealousy, blessings born of love, power born of despair... I cried for a long time when I saw the key shattered after waking up in the gathering place where I saved my elves."

She carefully took out a few small bottles the size of fingers from her robe. All the bottles had no labels, but after sniffing them carefully, she handed one of them to Xia De:

"This is despair."

Xia De then asked curiously:

"Do you also have secret arts about 【Cowardice】?"

Because "cowardice" itself was not Xia De's sin, so after Xia De obtained the Spirit Rune, he was not in a hurry to learn the corresponding miracle, so as not to affect his own personality. But since he happened to meet Miss McCona, he asked curiously.

The young witch nodded immediately:

"Of course there are. Cowardice is born of fear. We have secret arts that can extract cowardice and transform it into fear medicine. This special medicine can exert different effects according to the quality. Some of the secret medicines left by the teacher can make pure-blooded dragons unable to move due to fear with just one drop;

Also, the idea of escape born of cowardice can achieve functions similar to space jumping, but this requires some tears of fear as spellcasting materials, and the teacher said that one cannot always escape, so it is not recommended that I use this secret art often."

She pursed her lips, probably thinking that she came here because she wanted to escape:

"Well, there is another one. The teacher said that many secret arts can actually be transformed into each other. For example, the power to control light can produce darkness, so cowardice can also produce courage under extreme circumstances, although the teacher believes that this kind of courage is usually very reckless.

Witch Secret Art - Body of Courage, at the cost of consuming one-third of one's own ether, makes the body expand. Of course, body strength and resistance can also be enhanced, and spellcasting ability during expansion will also be enhanced.

And because it is a fixed consumption of one-third of the ether, the specific effect is determined according to the amount consumed. However, in high-intensity combat, in addition to paying the ether when casting this secret art, maintaining the form will also consume a lot of spirit.

After proficiency, it can also achieve local expansion with less ether consumption, but the one-third limit of this secret art cannot be broken. The teacher said that this secret art will make girls become too big, so it looks very unsightly. Our original appearance is the most beautiful, so she only occasionally uses this secret art to enlarge her arms for some handling work." ===== CHAPTER 2690 =====
